Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of Vanampadi, a community platform for discovering, sharing, and discussing professional, business, and community information. By using Vanampadi, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Notice.

1. Your account and AT Protocol

You sign in using an AT Protocol/Bluesky account. Keep control of that account and do not use another person’s account or misrepresent your identity, business, affiliation, or qualifications. Your use of Bluesky and your personal data server is also subject to their applicable terms and policies.

2. Community rules

Use Vanampadi lawfully, respectfully, and in good faith. You must not post, request, share, or facilitate content or conduct that:

• is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, threatening, hateful, harassing, obscene, sexually exploitative, or otherwise harmful;
• infringes another person’s privacy, intellectual-property rights, confidentiality, or other rights;
• includes another person’s personal information without a lawful basis or appropriate permission;
• promotes scams, impersonation, malware, spam, illegal goods or services, or unapproved regulated activity; or
• interferes with the platform, bypasses safeguards, scrapes it abusively, or uses automated accounts without permission.

Do not treat posts or comments as legal, medical, financial, tax, immigration, or other professional advice. Check important information with a qualified professional and an official source where relevant.

3. Your content

You are responsible for your content and for having the rights and permissions to post it. You keep ownership of your content and give Vanampadi a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, cache, reproduce, display, and distribute it as needed to operate, secure, improve, and promote the service.

Posts, comments, and profile details can be public. Do not post confidential, personal, or commercially sensitive information unless you are comfortable with public access and onward sharing.

4. Businesses, recommendations, and transactions

Vanampadi does not endorse, verify, guarantee, broker, or insure any member, business, listing, recommendation, offer, product, service, job, or transaction unless we expressly say so in writing. You are responsible for your due diligence and dealings with others.

5. Moderation and enforcement

We may review, remove, limit distribution of, preserve, or disclose content or account information when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect people or the service, comply with law, or respond to valid legal process. We may suspend or end access for violations.

6. Service availability and liability

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, Vanampadi disclaims warranties not expressly stated in these Terms and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses, or third-party content or dealings.

7. Changes and governing law

We may update these Terms for legal, security, or service reasons. The effective date will show when they were last changed. These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in Malaysia, unless mandatory law where you live requires otherwise.

8. Contact

Before production launch, the operator must publish its registered legal name, business address, and a monitored contact channel here. These terms must match the service’s actual practices and be reviewed by qualified Malaysian counsel.
